BAC5.2 Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 I'll try to take a good picture of the display with my camera. I think it looks much better than that Pioneer.

Drew888 Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 I appreciate that! You already have pics up here somewhere of it installed yes? I'm liking the pioneer so far because it's so small and although the picture could be more detailed it is bright and works well in low light. A better picture is always good.

BAC5.2 Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=190503506830&viewitem=&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWNX%3AIT I just wish there was a way to adjust the lines, but it's actually pretty spot on. Obviously I have it attached to the right-side of the car, so the bit of bumper you see is in the middle of the car. The red line touches the bumper, and the ground projection is ~18 inches behind the bumper. The right hand yellow line, is a pretty good parallel parking guide, and lining it up with the ground/curb interface gets you a few inches from the curb.

Drew888 Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 So the whole unit replaces one license plate light assembly? Did it fit well? How was it to run the cable?

BAC5.2 Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 Fit just fine. I have a wagon, so running the cable sucked. I think it was probably one of the least fun things I've ever done on a car. But I'm happy with it. Walking by the car, or even around it, or up to it, you can't see the camera.

jyax Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 Love threads like this. Great information. Just ordered the camera BAC5.2 has and the wires from monoprice. Camera will probably take a few weeks to get here, but I'll post my results when it's all setup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jyax Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 So I got my camera about a couple weeks ago and got it installed that weekend. I should have done a little more research, but it turns out this camera isn't a direct swap into one of the license plate lights housing like on BAC5.2's OB. Because I wasn't 100% confident in the camera and how long I'd have it I didn't want to cut out one of the license plate lights so I mounted it to the left of the license plate because there's already a cutout in the deck (above the plastic insert). Anyway, so far it's been great. Red line shows about 2 inches from the bumper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BAC5.2 Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 I actually bought one of those first, thinking it would fit my wagon. I think I still have it. I am still pretty happy with my camera. It is super stealth.

Also, would you be willing to be available for calls on July 8th as a bunch of us attempt to take on this challenge? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BAC5.2 Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 I wouldn't mind selling it. July 8th, I'll be far out of cell service. I might have sporradic access to e-mail and the board though. It's not hard to install. Just plug it in.

brou4164 Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Can anyone give me insight as to why y'all plugged in the rear view camera via Molex instead of the yellow RCA port on the back? I'm a little lost as to the reason &/or the benefit to doing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jyax Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 By plugging into the molex connector the screen will automatically switch to the rearview cam when you put the car in reverse. Then back to whatever screen you were originally on when you take it out of reverse. By using the rca port you would have to hit the info button twice to switch to/from the cam.

brou4164 Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 Thanks for clearing that up! Now, how did y'all wire the sound with the video input to the RCA (info button twice video). I would like to install another iPod cable to that so I can watch movies via the screen, but have no idea how to wire the audio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drew888 Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 The sound only comes through when you choose AUX on the radio and plug into the input in the armrest. What I did was plug in a Y splitter so I have my HKS CAMP2 audio alerts and iPod plugged in at the same time. I just ran the cables from behind the dash and under the console.

I'm still lost on how y'all hid the cable & actually ran it to the navi from the trunk! ANY help would be nice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
